I know I am a off target, but I’m trying to find out where to get the answer to this question.

I am working with a woman who is divorcing her husband.

She has discovered numerous loans against his 401k that she had no knowledge of.

Isn’t there a need for spousal consent for loans from a 401k?

Also, he was a participant in this plan before he was married.

It seems that he did not tell his employer to change is status with the 401k.

Is there a responsibility for a participant to do that?
